News Regorafenib and Trifluridine/Tipiracil: Hospitalization and Clinical Outcomes in the Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Regorafenib and trifluridine/tipiracil are drugs that prolong overall survival (OS) in pre-treated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The difference in the toxicity of these agents led to the hypothesis that treatment toxicity of individual drugs might increase the number of hospitalizations, thereby affecting patients' quality of life. The study presented below aimed to analyze the number of hospitalizations during treatment and their possible impact on OS.
